Jack Welch, Maria Bartiromo End BusinessWeek Columns

Two of BusinessWeek's more popular — and well-known — columnists are ending their columns now that Bloomberg LP has bought the magazine from McGraw-Hill.

Jack Welch, who has written a column for the magazine with his wife Suzy for four years, and Maria Bartiromo will no longer be writing for BusinessWeek when Bloomberg takes over.

"We did it for four years and it was tougher than we ever thought," Welch told the New York Post. "Every Sunday it was like a guillotine hanging over our heads."

Business Insider noted earlier in the day Friday that Bartiromo's FaceTime column would be coming to an end.
